15 Sustainable Period Products

In order to maintain a plant-friendly lifestyle, many individuals are looking to ditch single-use products, especially ones that they have to use recurringly—this list of sustainable period products is here to point individuals to some very exciting innovations and offerings in the menstrual care sector.

On the front of menstrual cups, nixit boasts a unique circular shape that sits at the base of the cervix making it easy to insert without requiring suction. Cora's menstrual disc can also be comfortably inserted and easily removed; the product allows for mess-free sex during periods which can be a selling point for many.

For those who prefer less invasive sustainable period products, there is nothing more comfortable and secure than leakproof underwear. Proof® is a brand that offers a plethora of different styles. The silhouettes harness a patented technology called Leak-Loc® which is estimated to hold up to five tampons (or 10 tablespoons of liquid). In addition, the fabric is odor-resistant and wicks away unwanted moisture. For non-binary individuals, the Thinx Boyshort is something to consider as the sustainable period product places an emphasis on gender-fluid design.
